RESIDENCY DETERMINATION

Refer to Manager, Admissions, Registration & Student Records

Applicants who are moving to Wisconsin and are requesting to establish that Wisconsin be considered their resident for tuition purposes may request a residency determination. The College requests proof that the person is working and paying taxes in Wisconsin (which helps support the Wisconsin Technical College system). The College also asks for one other item for documentation and that could be registered to vote, driver's license, and vehicle registration. If someone is not employed, he/she could still be considered, but would need to speak with the manager. The criteria for determining residency is based upon "intent" -- the "intent" to become a Wisconsin resident.

OUT OF STATE TUITION WAIVERS

Refer to Manager, Admissions, Registration & Student Records

Approved names are submitted to District Board for information approval.

Applicants who will be retaining their home state as their official residence may request a waiver of the out-of-state tuition rate. The determining factor will be if the applicant meets the statute requirement of "needy and worthy" as defined by the State Board:

Needy: In the case of a U.S. citizen, a student who has financial need under 20 U.S.C. 1087kk. In the case of a non-U.S. citizen, a student who lacks the financial means to pay out-of-state tuition as determined by a district board based on documentation that available assets and income are insufficient to fund educational expenses, including out-of-state tuition.

Worthy: A student who meets the normal admissions requirements of a district board for enrollment and who maintains satisfactory academic progress according to the district's standards.
